imagine someone being mad about playing the worst dm class for practice in a death match TF2 practice modification

This is just absolutely false lol

How do you think white lists started? How do you think the ruleset became what it is today? When I started playing comp tf2 11 years ago we played 8v8 with no limits, the current ruleset didn’t just appear or of thin air and has been played for all of time.

The current ruleset was created and molded by 6v6 players to present and play the most “competitive” format by their standards. Leagues have never been the ones to outright say hey this is the ruleset or new ruleset and this is what you’re playing. The rules of the fight have always been defined by the upper echelon players and continues to be to this day, there isn’t an argument that supports the latter. There isn’t a league out here right now that could completely change their ruleset and the players be okay with it, that has how TF2 has always been and probably always will be. I have no doubt in my mind that esea or etf2l would run something even marginally close to a no restrict ruleset unless RGL somehow starts stealing their player base.

I could not disagree with you more on this front, and until otherwise proven by comments in this thread, I believe I speak on behalf of the vast majority of the community when I say this.

Yes, going to a laid back LAN to hang out with your buddies is definitely part of the fun of these smaller LANs, but to say that the way this LAN is organized is a detriment to the community is outrageous to me. When it comes to events like this for our community, I believe it is priceless and every single event like this is a huge source of motivation for our competitive players, even if it’s on the more casual side in comparison to rewind or insomnia.

I’d just like to take the time to say; I appreciate all the hard work and the many hours that have gone into this from all the RGB staff and Fragile over the years and nothing you guys change or do to this LAN will make it unmanageable for the majority of the community. Please keep doing what you’re doing and we know you will give us the best result possible for TF2.

console mentioned to me in PM there will be PC rentals for sure.

also I will be driving from the Toronto area as im picking up someone from the airport to drive so hit me up if you wanna pitch in for gas and get a ride.

stephen....

id be sweating the whole time, but it really would be an awesome first round series, Toronto and Brooklyn too!

bumping for visibility

We really need more teams guys! please get your team to sign up for this! it is really important for the future of comp mapping and comp in general and will be a really fun pop up tournament, including some maps that could be in ESEA and other leagues around the world next season, we really need more teams! thanks!!

Reminder that this will be division based so there is space for everyone!

I hope banning people who are openly racist isnt against the rules

very talented, needs a stable team with vets that can guide him and teach him the game and he will be one of the best players in IM in a season or two.

added for tryout

asia team for isomnia???

Pascal Siakam of the Toronto Raptors

true, but if this league goes well, opens up huge potential for new 6s sized PL and possibly attack defense maps, could be really cool seeing as most of the PL maps were intended for 12v12

if you que solo you don't get matched against 3 stacks, proven by devs and multiple streamers who tested the game prior to release. This is why you see a ton of streamers play solos and do extremely well.

softball would suck shit in this game hahaha
